Tabletop Primate PET Scanner

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

The purpose of this requirement is to provide the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Neuroimaging Research Branch with a primate PET scanner (piPET) with the capacity to provide pre-clinical scanner images of large primates (e.g. rhesus macaques) without blocking vision, in a sitting position, and with a small physical footprint. The imaging system must be a tabletop PET scanner that can be easily transported with the capability to deliver imaging performance with a minimum 2 mm reconstructed resolution on a high sensitivity level. These features are essential and critical for the quality of data that are routinely collected in NIDA-IRP's clinical imaging protocols.

Please see the attached Request for Quote for further details. When responding to this combined synopsis/solicitation, please submit all required materials as specified, including those specified in the evaluation factors section of the combined synopsis/solicitation.
